MyTV requires a large amount of bandwidth. Each home is limited in the amount of bandwidth that can physically be delivered. As technology evolves, we can overcome some of these limitations. High Definition (HD) programming requires even more bandwidth than Standard Definition (SD). While you can have multiple TVs connected to the MyTV service, there is a limit to how many set-top boxes can display programming at the same time. These are known as programming streams. How close the wire center is to your home will determine how many TVs can receive programming at the same time – known as simultaneous streams. An SD channel equals one stream, HD two streams, MyDVR SD one stream, MyDVR HD two streams. Previously recorded programs do not take up a stream.
